[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 5789961, member: 32536"] I'm not really a fan of the idea of Fighter powers, since that term implies a unity of mechanics across the game like in 4E, but Fighters absolutely need to have some equivalent (maneuvers, I suppose). Returning to a situation where Fighters can only make basic attacks would be unacceptable. Power sources are also fine, since that's really a thing that has always been in the game. Characters have always been martial, arcane, divine, psionic, or whatever. 4E's main problem was that it forced a class to be just one of those. I'll agree with the topic starter that modifying the power source system so that a class can use multiple power sources would be a big improvement. Also, as I mentioned in other threads, I rather like the idea of "power lists" that are shared at least a bit by different classes of the same power source. This is particularly true for martial characters. I don't want 4E's unified power system, but power source-specific mechanics and/or mechanical elements are a tradition for the game. It would be nice to see that extend to martial combat just as much as it was true for Arcane spell lists or Psionic power lists. I'll disagree with a lot of the other particulars mentioned in the first post, though. If nothing else, I like roles (just not 4E's roles). [/QUOTE]
